Some drafts just don't yield top talent. Were you expecting the 03 NBA draft?

This is more akin to the 2000 draft, where if you look now, Michael Redd midway in the second round?! AND THAT'S IT. Horrid draft top to bottom.

If, like BB said, all the leagues get the same talent, does that include potential? because if it does, not one hall of famer or all-time great came out of this draft, which doesn't happen every year. i.e. the 2000 draft. so...

Realistic? Hell yes.
Shite for those who invested 20k a week? Hell yes.

i invested scouting in 30k per week, and this is what i get... one superstar potential...
...in the second round.

in overall, i'm not complaining... you're right, not every draft is like the top one... that's the main mystery that makes the draft more realistic and more fun.

I think you should be glad... A season is around 12 weeks, 30 k/week is 360k... I'm pretty sure you can sell a superstar potential for at least 360k, if he has decent skills... The other two are just a bonus, and if they aren't good you can just fire them...

That is good. I invested close to 200k and hopefully I can recoup 20,000 from that after selling my rookie scrubs off.
I still want to know if it is indeed true about the same potential for every league.

Well, IV.1 from Brasil.

i looked at all picks and besides a couple superstars and perenial AS, 90% were starters, stars or bench warmers.

yeah, and to think about it one more time... it isn't too bad after all...

i didn't get a good first round pick, i got a good second round pick.

the only team (i think) that got a good first round pick is the league champion, he got a perennial allstar.

my point in my earlier post that it's bad to have this seasons draft (and worse for having fourth to the last pick). But i'm not blaming anything or anyone. the draft system today is good.

Try and post your league's totals, not your players, this will quickly turn into the other thread.
